Editorial note

The Samsung Galaxy A12 stands out with several notable advantages. Its 6.5-inch display with a resolution of 720 x 1600 pixels offers a pleasant visual experience, although this resolution may seem lower than that of some competitors. The smartphone is powered by a MediaTek processor with 8 cores and a frequency of 2.3 GHz, ensuring smooth performance for everyday tasks. Additionally, the 5000 mAh battery provides impressive battery life, ideal for active users. With 128 GB of internal storage expandable up to 1 TB via a MicroSD card, it offers plenty of space for data and applications. However, the Samsung Galaxy A12 has some drawbacks. Despite a 48 MP quad rear camera, it lacks advanced features like night mode or 4K video recording, which may disappoint photography enthusiasts. The absence of FM radio and the weight of 205 g, which can make prolonged use less comfortable, are also points to consider. Finally, the 4 GB RAM capacity may limit performance when running resource-intensive applications simultaneously. In terms of scores, the user experience is rated at 75, reflecting a good interface despite the screen resolution. Overall performance is rated at 70, while battery life receives an excellent score of 90. The camera and design each receive scores of 70 and 75 respectively. The value for money is considered good with a score of 80, while the features, although satisfactory, receive a lower score of 65 due to certain limitations. In summary, the Samsung Galaxy A12 is a well-balanced smartphone that will suit those looking for good value for money and solid battery life, but may not satisfy users seeking advanced photographic features or an exceptional viewing experience.
